Within this specific exhibit, one will learn about the connection between American Culture and Power. The concept of how celebrating Thanksgiving is a huge part of American Culture and how power, in relation to gender bias come into play. Also, by defining what is considered masculine and feminine, and taken these both into consideration when comparing the responsibilities given to women and men on this American holiday. By looking at history, it will allow to create a connection between these two and deeper understand why this tradition has not changed throughout the years. Through specific ethnographic methods like participant observation and conversational interviews, it will allow me to not only create larger connections to American culture but understand the true reasoning behind certain gender bias that surround women and men on Thanksgiving day. More specifically, within my family, why women hold most of the responsibility in relation to cooking, cleaning, and decorating. While the men are only responsible for cutting the turkey. By interviewing the women as well as the men within my family, it will allow for a contract in answers as to why gender bias are present within American culture, but more specifically surrounding Thanksgiving. Why is it that men are given the most “masculine” job, while women are stuck mashing potatoes and making side dishes? Has it always been like this, or is this a new stereotype that society has placed on women? I will be asking some of these questions to my mother Carolyn, my Nana, Jean, as well as, my father, Bruce, and lastly, my grandfather, Colin. By answering all of these question, it will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of what Thanksgiving is teaching you about the relationship between American culture and power of gender
